How sexy is this?

My mum went a couple of times in the 70's. She said it was "ok", she much preferred WOMAD though.

fuck all wrong with glastonbury

whats the problem?

A few notable examples aside, Glastonbury is just a corporate snore-fest to me. I'd rather go either to Sonar or Bencassim in Spain. Now that's proper festivaling.

I went to Sonar, didnt think much of it really, loved Barcelona though

its just an excuse to get off my tits and run around naked in the mud to me

[SonicBebs]

seriously, who doesn't like parties?

[Toilet & Bowels]

it's proven to be the most racist music festival in the UK

Fucking unbelievable. I've had so many conversations about this lately. "They usually get someone big to play, like REM or the Stereophonics or Oasis". The Jizza sold more records than all of the pale cunts.

Also, his set pwned.

Also, when I were a teenager, Glastonbury was all about going, taking enough drugs to kill Sweden and having inappropriate sex with 30-something Goths (that's as in age, and I had a great 18-year-old time, thanks for asking). Nowadays, all the dull-as-piss cunts from college who wouldn't be seen within a country mile of Acid are going, and it makes me sick that they are going to spend £150 on a festival that they will remember. It chills me to my Somerset bones, it really does.

I laughed quite a lot at this.

why does that bother you? Go with your mates and take your acid. Fuck everyone else. Why worry about whether or not they're hardcore like you, just do your thing.

that is 1 reason why glastonbury's a bit fucked these days compared to the 90's, people looking everywhere else and blaming everything else rather than just getting on with it.

[demonrail666]

Aah, Glastonbury was always better when you went compared to now. It's a Glastonbury rule. Everyone should go once in their life, get off their face, shag someone, throw up on some dodgy noodles, and have an al round wicked time, then shut the fuck up about it.

the one year i was supposed to go i broke my foot a few days before, that was back in the days when you could still jump the fence

It bothers me because I used to be Glastonbury hardcore, and I'm now priced out of the whole affair. I mean, I could afford it, but I resent paying that much for a weekend I won't remember. Before it was reasonbly affordable (especially in the fence-jumping days).

what a pile of fucking wank.
of course anything the NME is sponsoring would be though.

[demonrail666]

On a more serious note, I think Glasto went down hill once they started emphasising the bands. It was never a music festival in the way that Reading or Womad have always been. It was an 'event', a 'happening'. The difference between going mental in someones house with a random album playing in the background, and sitting with a group of strangers, listening to a CD.

No, I wasn't questioning you, I was being super-clever by equating Reading, the festival, with reading, the acting of consuming a book. Please keep up Cantankerous, for fuck's sake.
